# UniversalAPIAgentTool 🚀

**Universal MCP Tool for Agents & MCP Hackathon**

A powerful Gradio-based MCP server that acts as a universal gateway for AI agents to interact with any REST API on the web.

## 🎯 Live Demo

Use this interface to test the UniversalAPIAgentTool:

1. **Try Real APIs**: Test with CoinGecko, GitHub, or JSONPlaceholder
2. **Explore Features**: Test different HTTP methods and authentication
3. **See Error Handling**: Try invalid URLs to see robust error responses
4. **MCP Integration**: This same functionality is available as an MCP tool for AI agents

## 🤖 For AI Agents

This tool exposes the `execute_api_call` function via MCP, enabling AI agents to access any REST API:

```json
{
  "tool_name": "UniversalAPIAgentTool", 
  "function_name": "execute_api_call",
  "parameters": {
    "base_url": "https://api.coingecko.com",
    "endpoint": "/api/v3/simple/price", 
    "method": "GET",
    "params": {"ids": "bitcoin", "vs_currencies": "usd"}
  }
}
```

## 🏆 Hackathon Impact

**Problem Solved**: AI agents were limited to pre-built API integrations  
**Solution**: Universal access to any REST API in real-time  
**Result**: Dramatically expanded AI agent capabilities
